Congressmen understand all aspects of Extension during the Washington, D.C. Congressional visits. She <br />personally led conversations with NC Rep. Robin Hayes. The 2007 PILD Conference allowed Christine to open the <br />door much wider for future support staff involvement at such professional-level seminars and conferences when she <br />met and discussed the regional association with other support staff persons -for the first time ever! At the 2007 <br />JCEP conference, Christine chose to attend the ESP Association meeting to gleam information to share with the <br />support staff association. <br />Christine has represented her association at the NC County Agricultural Agents Association annual conferences, <br />and greeted County Commissioner Association members and guests at the Horn-Of-Plenty festivities. Recognized <br />for the knowledge of her organization, she has mentored and evaluated support staff participating in the Pathway <br />Leadership Program. Christine proctored the Masters-level class,' Agriculture & Extension Education 501,' for a new <br />4-H/Extension Agent, and later was asked for recommendations to Graduate School. Christine's positive attitude <br />toward her work, her ability to market and position NCCES in the workplace and the community, along with her <br />interpersonal skills with clientele, county, state and governmental leaders, make her a genuine asset to North <br />Carolina Cooperative Extension, and the Cabarrus County Center. <br />Summary Statement. No one else tells Extension's story better than Christine, and she has told it so well <br />for over 25 years. Her heart and soul is entwined throughout our organization. She `leads by example' not <br />only within association work, but throughout her entire Extension profession. Her unselfish commitment to <br />serve at all levels of our organization, as well as in her community, makes her an obvious recipient of the <br />ESP Visionary Leadership Award. <br />Christine C.
